Common questions
- What does fine motor therapy involve?
- Fine motor therapy focuses on developing the small muscles of the hands and fingers. This can involve activities to improve hand strength, dexterity, coordination, and visual motor integration. We tailor our approach to meet each child's unique needs.
- How will fine motor therapy help my child at school?
- Improved fine motor skills can make a big difference in the classroom! Children may find handwriting easier, be able to use scissors more effectively, and participate more fully in activities that require precise hand movements.
- How do I know if my child needs fine motor therapy?
- If you notice your child struggling with tasks like writing, drawing, buttoning clothes, or using cutlery, it may be beneficial to have them assessed by an occupational therapist. We can identify any underlying difficulties and recommend appropriate interventions.
